Hello,
we are still in the planning phase of the floor plan, so we remain fully flexible regarding doors, windows, and plumbing.
I would like to hear your opinions on our idea for the bathroom layout, as we are still quite uncertain ourselves.
We are aware that, due to the two doors and the laundry chute, there is very little storage space available, but we want to use the bench under the window as additional storage. The entrance to the shower is only 70cm (28 inches) wide, which is quite small but sufficient for us.
We imagine a very large vanity with vessel sinks and built-in (concealed) faucets. For vanities 160cm (63 inches) or longer, I have only found the Villeroy & Boch Legato vanity cabinet so far. What are your thoughts and recommendations on this idea?
Similarly, we want faucets that are less sensitive to water spots, which is why we prefer built-in (concealed) faucets. Do you have any opinions on that?

By using a double spiral staircase, regardless of the material, you would gain significantly more space and design options, especially on the upper floor. This would eliminate all those corners and tight spots.
However, it seems as if the floor plan is fixed and you have accepted the compromises you have to make.

That’s true, the upper floor would definitely benefit from more spaciousness, but we believe that a double switchback staircase would take away a lot of the perceived space on the ground floor. However, we will definitely reconsider the double switchback staircase.
The floor plan is not finalized, but our ideas are quite fixed, which might prevent us from noticing obvious weaknesses.
Our idea is to have an open hallway on the ground floor that is not overwhelmed by a very wide double switchback staircase, allowing access to the stairs equally from the living area and from the utility room/garage.
But how could a better bathroom layout look if, by using a double switchback staircase on the upper floor, you gain more space?

We have already seen this 70cm (28 inch) access to the shower and it was sufficient for us.From 70 cm (28 inch) rough opening, you can end up with 65 cm (26 inch) including tiling.
And it’s still enough for you – but what if an illness causes you or a family member to gain some weight?
These are just suggestions – anyone can sugarcoat planning mistakes, and most here do, especially if they are not actually looking for advice on the design.
I also had to push you a bit to post it here 😳

But how could a specifically better bathroom be laid out if you gain more space upstairs thanks to a double quarter-turn staircase?I would probably also favor a two-quarter-turn staircase. That allows much better structuring of the upper floor, and the bathroom ends up with a better room.
However, we don’t know the overall orientation of the house. Assuming the upstairs faces south, the children’s rooms already have a poor east orientation. Why don’t you stack the toilet rooms vertically? That makes more sense for drainage.
I also wouldn’t break up the bay window upstairs. It is there to open up the space somewhat, but as it is, the usage seems a bit cramped.
I also find the 70cm (28 inches) wide access to the shower sufficiently large; I have seen it done this way before. Of course, there must be separate lighting above the shower. What would bother me much more are the two doors in the bathroom. I wouldn’t want to lock two doors every time, especially if you have children.
The living and dining area seems too small for me. Your house’s interior width is only about 10m (33 feet), which I find too narrow to also accommodate the kitchen. There is no space left between the sofa and the dining chair.
